There's a lovely apple tree up on the rooftop gardens at the apartments! I'm up there just about every other day, so I know it's new--and it's fully grown! Of course, someone could have planted a sapling and used magic to grow it so quickly, in which case I'm very jealous because there are quite a few flowers I'd like to speed up so I can see them in bloom. But the waiting is nice as well, and I like a surprise every now and then.

It's quite a sweet tree and such a bright addition! I may prune it back a bit so it has a better chance in spring, but if it's helped with magic, I suppose that may not be much of an issue.

And if you're walking the Skyhold gardens, please be careful! I think I have all of the plants cataloged with what they are, but there are still a few I'm not certain of, and certainly a few that don't enjoy being touched at all and will respond rather harshly.

	There's Rashvine for certain--I've tried to pull it out but I don't want to completely get rid of it if it's helpful in potions. I've read about Ghoul's Beard? But I haven't seen any yet, and I think it would be rather specific and obvious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yes, Ghoul's Beard I can spot on sight - it knows what it's about. Can I say that I'm terribly grateful we have someone who knows what they're doing to take care of the gardens? It'd end in misery if I tried it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very kind of you! It's such a delightful place and I'm so excited for the spring. I haven't taken out anything just yet, because I would hate to remove something useful just on appearance, so if there's something specific you're looking for, do say so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When I last dictated the direction of the gardens we were in a war. Obviously that pressure has been relieved, but I wouldn't mind continuing to grow a portion of healing herbs that we can either refine ourselves or donate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, of course! I'm trying something similar at the Morningside ones, with plants and herbs I'm familiar with, but I'm trying not to cross-mix gardens just yet until they've had a full growing cycle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let me know what you've decided, will you? I put our gardens in your capable hands. Just don't, I don't know, grow an ceaselessly hungry carnivore or one of those aphrodisiac vines you read about in smutty poetry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have a lot of confidence in me! I was dreaming of differently colored flowers, or a hybrid of herbs that combines benefits if I was being truly ambitious! (Reply to this) (Parent)
